have you ever used fabric origami flowers in a quilt?

Just made one...not too tough, but I'm keeping it in place by sewing a button in the middle. Just used a scrap to see how it would work.

I made a whole quilt with flowers like those. When I washed it they all came unfolded and I ended up throwing it out. It was beautiful before washing. I always figured that I must have done something wrong. I have a book somewhere that has several different flowers, but I could only figure out one of them. Be careful washing your quilts.

Thanks for the feedback!
